Special to the Ohio State Journal. Washington March 3. Thia baa been an extremely restless day in Washington. There has been a steady tramp, tramp, tramp of soldiery, constant roar of band music and an increasing jam of people. One has to walk in the middle of the streets to make any headway at all. The hotels and street cars are packed, yet there are those who say tonight that four years ago Washington held more Bonis than now. If the stream of in comers continues, howerer, before the snn rises again it will be absolutely painful to exist here. Trains are arriving on three roads about every half hour, and they are all heavily laden with human freight. Thousands are going over to Baltimore to spend the night, and it is feared by their friends here that there will be a railroad blockade in the morning, and they will experience much difficulty in returning. The weather bureau predicts lair weatner tomorrow, aad. prepare' I boos for a parade and fireworks and bail at hirht are being extended. The arrival of Cleveland and party at 7:30 this morning was not so much of a surprise . as it was intended. Quite a crowd was at the depot, and the President-elect had scarcely closed the doors behind him at the Arlington nntil cards were going np to his rooms. A constant string of prominent Democrats led to the hotel before 9 o'clock. The anticipations of the men were high as the went in, bat very low on departure. They all wanted to give advice on Cabinet matters and were refused admission. He soon gave oat that he had only two Cabinet positions to fill the War and Navy and that ha would consult gentlemen who were already selected as his counsellors about those. Samuel Courtright of Ohio was the first man received by Cleveland. A good deal of displeasure was shown by those whose cards were returned to them. Some uttered harsh words at being refused an audience upon such an important matter as the Cabinet. It is said Cleveland did not want to hear from New York in regard to his early determination to take two into his Cabinet from that state, and when at noon he began to receive almost every one whose card waa seat np, it was whispered that the Cabinet is complete and it is no use to talk now. There was very little formality in receiving callers. Some times the room was well filled with gentlemen, who stood np and talked in an of hand, social way. President Arthur and his Cabinet and those who were conceded to have been selected for the Cabinet, went np into the rooms of the President elect without announcement. There were many inquiries for ex Senator McDonald of Indiana, and a good deal of surprise was expressed by New Yorkers upon arriving at not finding him here. The absence of no one seems to attract so much attention, or elicit such deep regret, as that of McDonald. At the Capitol there has been of coarse the greatest crowds of people. It was impossible to move from one end of the building on the floors upon which the House and Senate are, without-extreme effort. The police were unable all day, and are tonight, to keep a passage-way open. Members of the conference committees at both ends of the Capitol are compelled to traverse the basement floor. Katkla- Bat Wind la the Senate. The contested election case of Fredericks v. Wilson is the supposed business before the House. For the last twenty-four hoars it has been difficult to tell what the lower branch of Congress is trying to do. Motions to adjourn, to excuse members from acting, and to take a recess follow one another in rapid succession. Each meets with a demand for the yeas and nays. The Forty-eighth Congress has obtained for itself a reputation for doing nothing which is not to be surrendered during the last hours of the session. Today the results can be summed np in ten lines. The House agreed to one of tne benate amendments to the post-J uiua nppropnauou out ana rejeciea two others. Beyond that the two branches are no nearer an agreement than they were last night. By a Tola of 128-lor to 32 against the House refused to agree to the Senate amendment to the ocean steamship subsidy clause of the postoffice bill. Townshend, who has the matter in charge, declares he would favor an extra session rather than yield, and it is feared that this one item may lead to a serious split. In fact as soon as the vote on the subsidy proposition was announced the opinion spread through the House that it would be absolutely impossible to adjourn tomorrow with the appropriation bills out of the way. Still within the next twelve hours members of one house or the other may come to their senses and make concessions. ' - Col Dakoi ta the Proeeeeioa Today. Official program promulgated by the inaugural committee today, showing the order of the line of march of military and civic organizations tomorrow, contains the following of interest to Ohio: The Fourteenth regiment Ohio National Guard, which became famous daring the Cincinnati jury riot, will parade with 200 men in line, dressed in regulation United States uniform. Colonel George D. Freeman will command the regiment, his staff being composed of Lieutenant Colonel William M. Leggett, Major Andrew Schwarz and Adjutant Thomas Fletcher. The regimental band will head the line. The regiment, which waa organized in 1877. has nine companies and a full strength of GOO men. It has been called for service four times and made a prompt response each time. The Jackson club of Columbus, O., fifty j men in uniform, officers, Charles G. Saffin Jresident; Samuel A. Kinnear, secretary; obn Owens, first vice president; James Boss, assistant secretary: Robert Snapp, second vice president ;Captain Charles W. McMil-len, treasurer; Captain Ephraim Weiriek, Lieutenants A. B. Cohen and A. B. Foster. The uniform is a white hat, light gray overcoat, white satin badge eight inches long, ornamented with a portrait of Jackson and bearing the name of the club. The members wilL carry canes alike. The Sand oaky Light Guard-, company B, Sixteenth regiment Ohio National Guard, forty men; C. M. Keyes captain, C. E. Barton first lieutenant, and E. B. King second lieutenant. The uniform is similar to that of the Seventh New York, United States cadet gray, white trimming, white cross belts and white epaulettes. The company was organized May 3, 1875. It has been twice called out by the Governor to suppress riots in the coal regions and Cincinnati. It is composed of business and professional young men of Sandusky. The . Ball.Room Keeelviag the Final Tonah.es. An estimate of the ball tickets already sold places the number at ten thousand. The inaugural ball tomorrow night promises to be the most successful, financially and socially, that has ever taken place. The decorations are somewhat gaudy but are of rich material and handsome design. Tonight the ball-room is receiving the final touches. The committee decided not to use electricity in lighting np, but have put in instead about sixty Siemen's gas burners. The result is a steady and perfect light, without the glare which makes electricity so objectionable indoors. The effects tonight are such as to promise an exceedingly brilliant scene tomorrow, and all Washington is on the tiptoe of expectancy. Outwitting the Doorkeepers. A great many schemes are worked daring the excitement of the closing days of Congress to get in on the floor of the House or into the lobby of it by those having an especial interest in the proceedings. Ministers to and from foreign countries. Governor! of states and territories, ex-members and members-elect are admitted, beside those who are directly connected with conducting the Mouse at tne present time. A few dava aeo E. E. Chanin. a wall-known lawyer of Milwaukee, presented himself at Ana af the entrances leading to the House and asked for admission. Having no right to the floor, he was admitted not. When about turning away, disheartened, for he very much desired to be admitted to the lobby on the south side of the Hnnaa. espied Hugh Lewis, one ot the door-keepers, who hails from Wisconsin. In lowered tones he told Lewis he wanted to go in on the floor ot the House rt kail. .. - a.

There was another doorkeeper than Twia nreaent. "You can not enter here!" expostulated the doorkeeper. "Bat I was on the floor a few minutes ago," argued Chapin, "and I want to go there again." A little controversy was taking place when Lewis reappeared. Seeing his Western friend Lewis, with a serious look, said: 'All right, come in." Turning to the other doorkeeper, Lewis aid, "He'i a foreign minister." It required an excuse of some kind to make clear the other visit Chapin had made to the floor of the House. Now Lewis is greeted as "for eign minister," the identity of Chapin, wno is a private citizen. Having Been tablisbed.

It is during hours like those which have been passing within the last forty-eight hours that the average congressman and senator earns and receives the curses of his constituents. Nearly every representative has a measure in some of the appropriation bills which is local to his district. Many have a number of them. The work on these measures is being done regardless of personal favor. One House will strike out some of these clauses, or a conference committee will do so, and the other branch will concur, and the work final will be completed under a suspension of the rules, so that debate and amendments are out of order, and repairs cannot be made. The sundry civil bill has been terribly disfigured by the Senate. Scores of sections and clauses have been amended in the Senate and sent back to the House for concurrence under a suspension of rules. The House has done the same thing with Senate amendments and the conference committees have also taken unlimited liberty with the appropriation bills. All this has played havoc with the personal interests of senators and representatives. Daring such times ample opportunity is afforded for embittered senators and members to "get even" with those who have invited their ill wilL The revision of appropriation bills is conducted so that it is impossible almost to. ascertain why a thing is done. If a member or senator has a friend or a conference committee he Can even np with an enemy, having an interest in a clause and it can hot be learned how or why.it was done. Cleveland', rtataelai Foiley to be Vigorous.It is generally beHeved that the administration of Mr. Cleveland will be a vigorous one on the subject of finance, and that some unusual steps, intended to alleviate the stress of money matters will be taken. The moves already made on the subject of silver coinage indicate his decisive character, and the men he will have around him and in his Cabinet point to a vigorous policy. Many there are prominent in the party here who expect to see almost a revolution in commercial matters. This is anticipated to all be for the better, of course. It is thought Mr. Cleveland will recommend the passage of a bankrupt bill next winter, and state what he wants on the subject of finance in bis regular message to Congress. Feraoaal.

The Chief Signal Officer Ordered Under Ar rest aad to bo Court-Sfartlaled. Washington, March 3. The President today ordered a general court-martial to convene in Washington on the 11th inst., for the trial of Brigadier General W. B. Hazen, chief signal officer of the army, on the charges of conduct prejudicial to good order and military discipline, in hay ing officially and publicly criticised the action of the secretary of war for not following his recommendation to send an expedition to the relief of Lieutenant Greely in September, 1883. Captain J. W. Clous of the Twenty-fourth infantry, will be iudee ad vocate. Orders were also issued today for the suspension of General Hazen, and for mm to consider mmseii in arrest until farther orders. Captain Mills, of the signal service, has been ordered on duty as acting chief signal officer, pending the result of the trial of General Hazen. It is understood the action of the Presi dent in this case was precipitated by an interview with General Hazen published yesterday, in which General Hazen is represented as placing on the secretary of war the responsibility for the- loss of so many members ot the ttreely party. They Didn't Find It. Dayton, March 3. Three masked men entered William Harris's residence, two miles from Dayton, last night, and injured the -old man. They bound and gagged turn and threatened nun with death unless he revealed the hiding place of $2000. He declared he had given them all he had $240. Thereupon they ransacked the house, tore the bedding in shreds and ripped up the carpets. .Finding nothing more they departed, leaving Harris securely tied. Friends released him this morning.

CAME IN WITH THE MIST, TO SCENES OF HIS FUTURE TROUBLE. Arrival of Cleveland and Party at Waab ington Their Reception at the Arlington Getting Beady for Today's Affair. Washington, March 3. At 7 o'clock this morning, when the mists of the night still clung around the Baltimore and Potomac depot and but few persons were about, the special train bearing the Presl dent-elect and his party drew up on the side-track in the depot. The committee of citizens appointed by Chairman Cor coran to receive the President-elect had been informed bv him that he desired to await a public reception and would prefer to receive a visit irom the committee at his hotel. They were also informed yesterday evening by members of the Senate designated by Cleveland as a medium of further communication, that other and erivate arrangements had been made for is comfortable reception at the station and conveyance to the hotel, but nevertheless when the party arrived only a few train bands and half a dosen reporters were present. The Prefiident-elect was accompanied by his brother, Rev. L. Cleveland, wife and child, his sisters, Mrs. Hoyt and Miss Cleveland, his niece, Miss Mary Hastings, Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Manning and Colonel Daniel Lamont, wife and children. After a delay of about ten minutes Chairman Berret and Mr. Gait, of the inaugural committee, put in an appearance and were introduced to the President-elect. Some twenty minutes were required to secure carriages and it was 7:50 o'clock before the party disembarked. Meanwhile news" of the arrival of the party had spread and a crowd gathered around the Pullman car Maranon and stared hard at the President-elect, who bore the scrutiny with equanimity. When the carriages arrived tne party alighted and proceeded through the ladies' waiting-room to the north entrance, thePresident-elect leading with Chairman Berret. He wore a blue overcoat and silk hat and did not appear to be at all fatigued by his night's journey. Carriages were taken and the party proceeded to the Arlington, where a hasty toilet was made and breakfast served. The sub-committee appointed by the inauguration general reception committee to welcome the President-elect to Washington called on him by appointment, this afternoon. Their chairman, Hon. Richard T. Merrick, after introducing bis fellow-members, expressed their welcome in a few well-chosen words, and Governor Cleveland felicitously returned his acknowledgments. An informal conversation ensued for some little time, and the committee then individually took their leave. After the call of the citizens' reception committee Mr. Cleveland continued to receive callers until 6 o'clock, when he dined at the hotel. Among those who called were Mr. Hendricks, Geneial Vilas and Secretary McCulloch. It was after 8 o'clock when Mr. Cleveland and Colonel Lamont appeared in the parlors after dinner, and from that hour until 10 o'clock the President-elect continued to receive callers, who were admitted only after sending their cards. At .10 o'clock Mr. Cleveland retired. He will leave the hotel tomorrow morn ing at 11 o'clock for the White House, and from thence will be driven to the Capitol. Mr. Hendricks received a laree number of callers at his rooms today. In the evening he was serenaded by several visiting organizations, and in acknowl edging one of these compliments ten dered him by the Busch Zouaves of St. Louis, and Flambeaux club of Kansas, he said he regarded the demonstrations today as "indorsements of the principles of pure and honest government' XliVIIfth Congress Second Session. Washington, March 3, 18S5. SKKATK. Mr. Dawes called up the conference report on the Indian appropriation bill. The two nouses, ne saw, naa agreed on tne Din so tar as all the items properly pertaining to the appropriation bill were concerned. The Senate bad struck out all items of general legislation and all items for depredation claims. Upon these; however, the House had insisted on since the bill passed. Mr. Dawes added the Senate seemed to have weakened on its position as to general legislation. Some provisions of the Indian appropriation bill were open violations of our treaty obligations, as well as unconstitutional.Mr. Sherman said if the Senate regarded the House resolution as wise a Senate rule should not interfere with it; if unwise and unsound the 8enate should not recede, no matter what the consequences. Mr. Plumb said we were confronted with the possibility today of nothing more than an extra session of Congress, growing out of the action of the House. The course of that body had shown the magnificent will power of one man to produce such a result, pregnant, as Mr. Plumb believed it to be, with the gravest consequences to the people of the United States. The exceedingly defective form of legislation found on appropriation bills tended to make him (Plumb) immovably opposed to yielding, so far, at least, as related to important legislation. No more gross confession of legislative incompetency had evr been seen than had been manifested within stone s throw of the Senate chamber within thirty days. Bills appropriating millions of dollars had been passed without consideration and then sent to the Senate within two days of the close of the session. Mr. Plumb characterized the river and harbor lump appropriation as a criminal waste of money. Mr. ingalis By a Democratic secretary ot war. Mr. Plumb would net give the debate a political turn but the question was becoming serious not only as to the present but future. Mr. Beck thought there should be a rule requiring appropriation bills to be prepared early enough to anora tun consideration in both houses. ; In order to bring the question to the point and get he understanding of the Senate. Mr. Dawes moved, though he said he would vote against his own motion, that the Senate recede as to the provision of the bill relating to the legal jurisdiction and procedure in case of crimes committed by Indians. The Senate refused to recede yeas 4, nays 47. A message- from the House announced a disagreement with the Senate on the sundry civil bill. The Senate insisted on the amendments and the Chair appointed as a conference committee Messrs. Allison, Hale and Beck. Mr. Dawes explained the differences on the Indian bill to be the provision prohibiting carrying whisky into the Indian territory, that of disarming Indians and that relating to the Oklahoma territory. These, Mr. Dawes added, were good provisions, but were at present in such form in the bill as to do more harm than good. Mr. Sherman explained that the committee on arrangements, appointed by the Senate to take charge of the inaugural ceremonies, had not discriminated against the House in any way, but in the present instance the precedents had been somewhat departed from in favor of the House. The matter of the Indian conference report was taken up, and Mr. Dawes moved the Senate insist on the remaining amendments.Mr. Manderson moved the Senate recede as to the amendment extending the time for the payment for Indian lands. Mr. Van Wycke satirically said the Senate could not agree to legislative provisions on an appropriation bill when put on by the House, but could itself put on such as the Pacific mail subsidy clause when it thought fit, John Roach, Jay Gould and C. P. Huntington had been defeated at the other end of the Capitol, but had demanded that the Senate should violate its own rules. Mr. Van Wycke supported Mr. Manderson's motion. but the Senate, by a vote of 13 to 33, refused to recede. Mr. Vest hoped the Senate would agree with the House provision regarding the Oklahoma matter, and moved the Senate re cede from its amendment. Mr. Ingalis did not believe the Senate ap preciated tne tun significance ot the Oklahoma difficulty. He had no doubt that with in torty-eight hours 20,000 persons, by concerted action, would move on these Okla homa lands to forcibly occupy them, and be prepared to maintain that occupancy by force of arms. He did not believe a graver complication could arise in the dawn of the coming administration, whose crepuscular light we already saw in the eastern sky, than the complication likely to arise in this matter.Mr. Cullom said he had received reliable information that 2000 men were ready and determined to go on tne lands on March 5, Mr. Dawes inquired why on March 5. Mr. Cullom could not say. Mr. Ingalis did not know whether this was a post hoc or a propter hoc, whether a cause, effect or coincidence. Mr. Butler asked whether thecommander-in-chief of the United States army bad not sent an armed force to put out and keep out the people alluded to. Mr. Ingalis said yes, but tbe star of tha eminent commander was about to set Within a very short time the command of that very majestic body of men known as the Army of the United States would have passed from, the control of the great general who now commanded to a still greater general whose course was still in the womb of the future, but undoubtedly there was an impression that after March 5 the troops would be withdrawn. Mr. Ingalis said there were no lands of the Oklahoma tract that were in any sense public lands. It had been said contracts existed for grazing cattle on the lands and the Senate was standing in the way of opening the lands. Mr. Ingalis denied that a single contract of the character named existed or that a single head of cattle was fad on the Oklahoma lands. We should make the ' declaration broad, clear and distinct that no man should be permitted to go on these lands in contravention of law. It may however, be that before the sun rose again misguided citizens of the United Slates might be in conflict with troops. He(IngallB) would regret the shedding of blood, but there was but one way, in his opinion, to avoid it, and that was for the Senate not to invite the people to go there by a promise that a negotiation was about to be entered on for tbe purpose of opening these lands to settlement. Mr. Dawes felt entire confidence that the incoming administration would be found on the side of law. Mr. Vest remarked that the 'boomers" regarded tbe Oklahoma lands as comprising about 14,000,000 acres of iandV instead of comparatively a few acres, comprising what was more correctly understood td be the Oklahoma lands. Within the 14,000,000 acres referred to, there were many cattle grazing. Mr. Vest denied as a Democratic senator that there was any possible right of assumption or intimation that the administration of President Cleveland would be in any sort of sympathy, directly or indirectly, with a violation of law. The statements made to that effect were inspired by the desperation of the ''boomers," and not by any person in authority in the Democratic party. The Senate insisted on its amendment, and the Chair appointed Messrs. Dawes, Plumb and Ransom a committee of conference on the bill. Mr. Allison submitted a conference report on the general pension bill. No action was taken on it for the present. Mr. Hale, from the committee on appropriations, submitted the deficiency appropriation bill. He said it comprised ninety-odd pages and ought to be considered as soon as possible in order to go back to the House. There were now but twenty-three hours of the session of the Forty-eighth Congress remaining, and he asked unanimous consent to have this bill at once taken up. Mr. Conger called attention to the river and harbor bill, which, he said, he had yesterday notified the Senate he would call up today. Mr. Hale understood that Mr. Conger would antagonize the deficiency bill with a "conjectural" river and harbor bill. He (Hale) bad had grave doubt of the possibility of Congress getting through its necessary business without an extra session, and this added amazingly to the doubt. The appropriation committee had done its very best to get the bills before the Senate, and the Senate must now take the responsibility of the aibuauuu lruui mis unie uaui noon tomor row. . Mr. Cockrell desired the senators to bear in mind tbe exact responsibility for their action. This bill and the fortification bill were all the appropriation bills now left. The Senate adjourned and the legislative day of the 3d immediately began. The credentials ot Iceland btanford and J. 6. Kostua, senators-elect, were laid before the Senate. Mr. Hawley submitted a verbal report of the work done by the special committee to investigate tbe steel-producing capacity of the United States, stating that the committee had visited several cities and examined many factories and furnaces, and had in type the results of its investigations, but such investigations had not been completed for want of time. Mr. Morgan moved the committee be con tinued during the recess and required to report next December. Agreed to. Mr. Hale called up the general deficiency appropriation bill and its reading was pro ceeded with. The House provision abolishing the office of tenth census was stricken out by the Sen ate. Mr. Miller (N. Y.) offered an amendment appropriating $100,000 to complete the pedes tal ot tne statue "liberty uaiigntening tbe World," to be erected on Bedloes island. New York harbor." Agreed to. ' An amendment was adopted increasing appropriations for the compensation of postmasters, whose salaries had been readjusted under the act of 1833 to $278,481, an increase of $137,983. The bill passed. The fortification bill was then taken up. The committee's amendments were adopted and the bill passed. The Senate went into executive session, and when tbe doors reopened took a recess until 9 o'clock. HOUSE. There were hardly a dozen members in the hall when the session resumed this morning. The sundry civil bill had in the meantime come over from the Senate heavily loaded with amendments. Mr. Randall asked unanimous consent that this bill be taken up and the Senate amendments non-concurred in and sent to a conference committee, but an objection came from Mr. Hepburn and then there was a call of the House, which showed the presence of only 45 members. Mr. Randall's motion was then renewed and agreed to, and Messrs. Randal, Forney and Ryan appointed con-ferrees on the part of the House. After various ineffectual attempts to have bills taken np by unanimous consent, and it being plainly impossible to have any public business transacted, the House adjourned until 11 o'clock. When the House reconvened Mr. Valentine immediately moved a recess until 10 o'clock tonight, his object being to prevent consideration of the contested election case of Frederick v. Wilson of Iowa. The Republicans refrained from voting on the mo tion and left the House without a quorum. . JNo attempt was made to transact any business until Mr. Townshend submitted a report of the conference committee on the postoffice appropriation bill, announcing continued disagreement. Mr. Townshend stated there were several points of difference between the two houses, the most important of which was on the Senate amendment relating to ocean mail service. He was opposed to this because he regarded it in the light of a subsidy proposition and because it intrusted a dangerous power to the postmaster general. Pending the debate the Speaker laid before the House a communication from G. H. Craig, representative from the Fourth Ala bama district, stating that he had forwarded to tbe Uovernor of that state his resignation, to take effect March 3. Laid on the table. After a long debate on the ocean mail transportation clause, the House concurred in the Senate amendment, authorizing the postmaster general to lease premises for third class postoffices. - Mr. Horr moved the House concur in tbe Senate amendment relative to ocean mail transportation. Lost yeas 12S, nays 132. The House then insisted on its disagreement to the amendment, and a further conference was ordered. Mr. Ellis submitteed a conference report on the Indian appropriation bill.

Special to the Ohio State Journal. London, Match 3. Our regular monthly stock sales are held on the first Tuesday in every month. The sale today was largely attended, but sales of stock were not active and the number of sales less than those made at the February sale, and the prices today were below tbose a month ago, especially was this true with the sale of horses. About 250 head of cattle were sold at priees as follows: Yearlings $35 per hundred weight; two-year olds f3.50(n)5.12J per hundred weight ; three-year olds $1(?5.40 per hundred weight. Horses were slow sale, although a large number were on the market ; but sellers were not willing to accept the prices offered and but few sales were made and at greatly reduced prices, ranging from $100 to $130 per head. Murderoua Work of Anarchists. Pittsburg, March 3. The Anarchists held a meeting in Allegheny City last night, which broke up in a riot, and the police were called in to suppress the disorder. This morning John and Thomas Benker, drivers for the Lion Brewing Company in Allegheny, pronounced Anarchists, made a murderous attack upon two other drivers, John Werthman and George Weifler, whom they accused of causing the trouble at the meeting. The Benker brothers used heavy oak barrel staves.and beat their victims so f erociously that it is doubtful if they can recover. The assailants were arrested and held awaiting the results of the injuries of the wounaea men, ASlTHE LOCUSTS OF EGYPT ATEUPTHESUflsf ANCE OrTfiE LAND; So tha I'Dvaihad Democracy Swarm Iato tha Capital; Thinking They Own the Place The City Crowded to Its Utmost Capacity. Washikgtox, March 3. The corridors of the Capitol are almost impassable. Dense crowds surround every door of the galleries of the two houses peering through and awaiting the departure of the more fortunate occupants of the seats within. They are composed, for the most part, of well-behaved, well-dressed people, and by far the larger half wear overcoats of the army blue, their red-lined capes thrown back, better to disply the buttons and military trappings beneath. Many civilians are bedecked with silver badges bearing gilt devices. The old citizen who remembered the inauguration of Pierce and Buchanan, and who loves to tell any chance passenger of the glories of the ancient Democracy, elboata the younger and more sportive patriot who in default of cheering memories cherishes with equal ardor and chats as freely about his germinating hopes of the hereafter, dating from tomorrow noon.: . The majority of the latter have come to pay their first visit to the halls of Congress .and betray in face and demeanor a sense of proprietorship in the building and its contents. They bear their disappointment, however, with patience not unmixed with painful surprise, as sturdy, methodical policemen turn them back, and ask their equally uninformed neighbors if any way is open to the free but untitled American citizen to get where he can see the processes of law making. The proceedings to which such as get admission are witnesses, are not so well calculated to excite feelings of reverence as those of the earlier days of the session. The Senators and members of the House are worn out with the protracted sessions and excitement the last two or three days and nights and betray the fact in their uneasy attitude and sometimes in the unparliamentary vigor of their expressions. An extra session remains a possibility and the subject is the one most discussed among the members and attaches of Congress. The condition of business is such that the appropriation bills might be disposed of within twelve hours, yet the possibility remains that some will not be passed. Great crowds of .spectators have a very imposing effect; upon the eloquence of many members. The White-house building and grounds were crowded with visitors today. The east room, however, was the only one open to sight-seers. A policeman guarded the stairway leading to the upper portions of the house, and allowed only those on official business to pass. The President was kept very busy during the day signing the acts of Congress and attending to other official matters. Members of the United States Supreme court, headed by Chief Justice Waite, called just before noon and took leave of the President. , The meeting of the Cabinet was held at noon and lasted two hours. All tbe members were present. The session was devoted to clearing up all official business requiring action during the present administration. During the session a messenger brought a large floral cornucopia, across which was laid a beautiful horse-shoe formed of rare exotics. J At 2 :30 o'clock the President received the members- of the diplomatic corps. All the legations were represented, and it seemed as if every diplomat in the city improved the opportunity to take official leave of the President. While arrangements were being made for packing and removing the-pVrsonal effects of the President and family, a large express wagon drove up to the main entrance and deposited a number of trunks, boxes and parcels containing the personal effects of President-elect Cleveland and his private secretary. The President's effects will be removed tomorrow. After the President has reviewed the inaugural procession he will proceed direct to the residence of Secretary Frelinghuysen, and whose guest he will be for two or three weeks. His son and daughter will accompany him. Mrs. McElroy will be the guest of Mrs. John Field, and Mrs. Hay nes worth tbe guest of Mrs. James A. Dumont. Presidentelect Cleveland called,on President Arthur this afternoon. Benjamin Butterworth, commissioner of patents, today banded in his resignation to Secretary Teller, who accepted it, and complimented him upon his energetic administration .of the office. At the close of business hours today, the principal officers of the Postoffice department assembled in the postmaster general's room to take leave of Mr. Hat-ton. The retiring head of the department thanked them for their faithful discharge of duty and received from them in return expressions of their good will. In accordance with the usual custom, members of the Cabinet placed their resignation in the hands of President Arthur. The Work of a Crank. Baltimore, March 3. Tonight as a train carrying the New York County Democracy emerged from the west end of the Union tunnel, a shot was fired at it from the wall of Greenmount cemetery.

The police were at hand) but the assailant jumped down nearly twenty feet into the cemetery grounds and escaped.The late trains brought a considerable number of voyagers back from Washington unable to get accommodations there for the night. Getting Even With the Greasera. St. Lotris, March 3. Advices from Dimmet county, Texas, say the sheep ranch of Ryan & Level, which has borne a bad reputation for a long time, being regarded as a headquarters for cattle thieves and Mexicans, was attacked three days ago by ight Americans. Manual Flores, the overseer, was hanged, two or three herders shot and killed and the sheep scattered in all directions. No effort has been made to arrest the guilty parties. Dimmet county was the scene of the late troubles wltlr Mexicans. Accused of a Horrible Crime. Elkiiork, Wis., March 3. In the trial of Nellie Horan for poisoning her sister Anna, now in progress in the Circuit court, the entire forenoon and the greater part of the afternoon was taken up by the testimony of Miss Wakeman, with whom Anna was associated in the dress-making business, and who was with the deceased during her sickness and death. The testimony was but a repetition of that in the preliminary examination, no new points ot importance being Drought out. Pittsburg District Miners Will Strike. Pittsbcrg March 3. The coal miners of tbe Pittsburg district, at a representative convention held here today, refused to accept the trades tribunal rate of 21 cents per bushel, awarded by Umpire, Weeks, and resolved to strike next Mon-' day for 3 cents per bushel. The operators say they will not pay the advance demanded by the convention, and if insisted upon will close down their mines. The strike will throw out of employment 4000 men.

Iowa'a State Auditor Suspended from Of- nee for Alleged Crooked Work. Des MotsEs, March 3. Governor Sherman this afternoon served notice on Auditor Brown suspending him from office and appointing J. W: Cottell auditor pro tern. The notice states the suspension is made because of Brown's failure and refusal to account for certain moneys and property of the state intrusted to him as auditor. Cottell, who had filed his bond, was accompanied by an officer serving the notice ready to take possession of the office, but Brown refused to surrender the office or books and papers. It is understood the Governor had the office of the auditor examined by a commission ; that tbe commission reported a state of facts which made it mandatory on the Governor to suspend the auditor. The matters of alleged delinquency on the auditor's part, on which the Governor has acted, has nothing to do with complaints made against Brown in connection with the examination of insurance companies. The commission did not inquire into that matter, but only detailed the management of his office and accounts. Brown says the complaints against his office are unfounded, that the government has not the power to suspend him and that he will resist in the courts. THE TEXAS METHOD Of Adjusting a Strike Trains Stopped an the Texas Pacific Road. Galveston, March 3. -The striking employes of the Texas Pacific shop at Marshall carried out the resolution adopted at a meeting by stopping all passing freight trains today. Eleven trains are now standing in the yard, several of tbe cars loaded with perishable goods. The strikers this afternoon notified officers of the road that within twenty-four hours all passenger trains would be stopped, but an engine with the mail car would be carried through. If the company refuses to send a conductor the strikers will detail one of their number to take the mails to the Pacific coast. Good order prevails. No attempts have been made to destroy property. The city authorities are watching every movement of the strikers, but as yet have found no cause to interfere. A committee from the Marshall shops today visited Long view, the junction of the Texas Pacific and International Great Northern road, to induce the round-house employes to join the strike. The Longview strikers agreed to allow no coaches except mail to be taken out alter miamgnt tonigni. This plan, if carried out, will seriously interfere with the traveling public.

It is believed, though, without seeming authority, that the proposition has no less a personage behind it than General Stone, who, when Earl Duf-ferin undertook a reorganization of Egypt, was ignored by Hicks Pasha. In' this connection it is worthy of note that a gentleman here who traveled in Egypt says General Stone's letter in the New York World cautioning the British against sending their army from Suakim to Berber was misleading and in the interest of disaster to the British. Mayor Wilson graduated with high honors at Staunton, Va., and served as corps officer under Stonewall Jackson, A Double Murder. Detroit, March 3. The Post's special from Sault Ste Maria.

The following important bills have been sent to the President for his approval and will doubtless be signed by him before the adjournment of Congress tomorrow, and hence maybe considered as enacted: Bills to prohibit the importation and migration of foieigners and aliens tinder contract or agreement to perform labor in this country; to declare the forfeiture of lands granted to aid in the construction of the Texas Pacific railroad, and to prevent the unlawful occupation of public lands. Among the important measures yet remaining in conference committees upon points of difference between the houses, are the House bill to repeal tbe pre-emption and timber culture laws, House bill to forfeit the lands granted the Atlantic and Pacific Bail-road Company, and House bill to provide for a settlement of claims of the officers and enlisted men of the army for private property destroyed in the service of the United States. The most important measures which have come before this Congress for action and failed are as follows: The Morrison tariff bill; to reduce the import duties and war taxes; the McPherson bill to provide for the issue of circulating notes to national banks; the Biair oill to provide for tbe establishment and temporary support of common schools; bill to provide for the collection of statistics relating to marriage and divorce; bill tq provide for the performance of duties of the President of the United States in case of death, removal, resignation or inability of both President and Vice President; a proposition to suspend the coinage of the standard silver dollar; tbe substance of House bill to provide an appropriation for the commencement of work on the Hennepin can"al; Honse bill to provide for the restoration of Fitz John Porter to the army, passed both houses, but was vetoed; House bill to authorize the purchase by citizens of the United States and admission free of duty of foreign-built ships for use in the foreign carrying trade: House joint resolution proposing an.amendment to the Constitution, to provide that the right of citizens of tbe United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United 8tates or any state on account of sex; Senate bill to provide for a copyright for newspaper articles; House bill to provide that hereafter appointments of Governors of territories should be limited to persons who have been residents of said territories for at least two years: Senate joint resolution proposing an amendment to the Constitution to provide that the right of citizens to vote shall not be denied or abridged on account of nativity; bill to provide for the establishment of a uniform system of bankruptcy throughout the United States; House bill to provide pensions for veterans of the Mexican war; House joint resolution to provide for the appointment of a commission on the alcoholic liquor traffic: bill to establish a board of commissioners of inter-state commerce, and a bill to provide for counting the electoral vote. Of the measures of general interest introduced during the lifetime of this Congress which will fail of final action, a large number passed one house, but did not pass the other, and many hundreds have never got further than the calendars of the house in which they originated and will die there, while a great many have never even been reported from the committees to which they were referred. The bill to punish bigamy (the Hoar anti-polygamy bill) passed the Senate, but tailed in the House. Hello! There! Washington, March 3.

WRlTIXOUNDEtt JDIFFICCXTIES. Bow Some of the Host Noted litterateurs Worked While Victims of Diaeaae. Harper's Bazar. Heinrich Heine, the sweetest singer Germany has ever produced, wrote his "Romancero" under circumstances of great suffering. When paralyzed and nearly blind, he wrote a woven web of satire and pathos, in which he spared nothing, not even his own racked and anguished frame. "My body," he said, "has gone to rack and ruin, so that almost nothing is left but my voice, and my bed reminds me of tbe melodious grave of the enchanter Merlin, which is in the forest of Brocsliande, in Brittany, beneath lofty Oaty,1walailJtopmoBt branches blaze up like green flame to the sky. Ah, colleague Merlin, I envy you those trees and their fresh waving boughs, for no green leaf rustles here in my mattress grave a grave without rest, death without the privileges of the dead, who have no need to write either letters or books. I have been measured for my coffin some time ago, and my obifuary written, but I die so slowly that this becomes a tedious affair for myself, as well as for friends. Patience, however ; there is an end to everything. One morning you will find the book closed where the puppet-show of my humor so often amused you." One night, indeed it was so, but not until he had endured his "mattress grave" for eight long weary years. One night he moved into that last and best bed, where "the weary are at rest." It has been contended that when the disease of which the sufferer is dying is consumption, or some disease which, between paroxysms of pain, leaves spaces of ease and rest, it is nothing wonderful that good work should be done. Some of the best of Paley's works were written under such conditions, and some of the best of Shelley's. Crabb Robinson said that Goethe never had an afllction which he did not turn into a poem. Mr. Phillip Gilbert Hammerton has noted a very peculiar effect which the act of composition had upon Wordsworth. When engaged in composing "The White Doo of Byistone," he received a wound in his foot, and observed that the continuation of his literary labors increased the irritation of the wound, whereas by suspending his work he could diminish it. Absolute rest produced perfect cure. In connection with this incident he remarked that poetic excitement, accomplished by protracted labor in composition, always brought on more or less bodily derangement. He preserved himself from permanently injurious consequences by excellent habits of life. It is curious that times of illness, when the eyes swim and the head shakes, are oftentimes rich in suggestion. If the mind is often poetic, the hours are by no means wasted. Such was the condition of Mr. Green, the historian, who literally died in harness. Few pages in literary history are so touching as the preface in which Mrs. Green tells the history f "The Conquest of England." When he had finished the fourth volume ot his "History of the English People" there was a pause in the advance of tbe lung disease which stllicted him. Eager for fresh work, he began to shape new plans, but early in the spring of 181 he fell ill again. "In the extremity of ruin and defeat he fonnd a higher fidelity and a perfect strength." Most men give up their work when their end comes near, but Mr. Jreen la said to-have- worked all the harder because his days were numbered, and strove to obtain and diffuse as much light as possible before the coming of the night. "Under the shadow of death 'The Conquest of England' was begun," and the night came before it was finished. The death of Mark Pattison was equally sad, for in one of his last letters he wrote : "It is hard to feel my physical powers ebbing away, while m intellectual powers were never more vigorous. I have gathered with infinite pains tbe materials for my great work, but they will all be wasted for I shall not live to finish it and no one else will find the clue." Blindness would seem an insuperable drawback to writing, yet Frescott, the historian of Mexico and Peru, overcame the difficulty into which he was plunged by the failure of his sight. While a student at Harvard college one of his fellow students threw a crust of bread at him which struck one of his eyes, and deprived it almost wholly of sight, while the other was sympathetically affected. When writing a history of Spain his eye gave away, and prevented him from reading. His literary enthusiasm, however, was too strong to be quenched even by this calamity; he engaged a reader, dictated copious notes, and from these notes constructed his history, making in his mind the necessary corrections. Newspaper Wark. Joe Howard, in an article on the never-ending labor incumbent upon writers for the daily press, has the following, as true as Holy Writ: But where do we newspaper men come in? Where is our rest? Where our recreation? It is the custom in this city to give a yearly vacation of from one to three weeks to the writers on daily journals. That's all very well if a man contents himself with that one piece of "grad-grindery," but there are very few men in journalism so well paid by any one employer that they can afford to confine themselves to that service alone. It would be dishonorable for any writer on any of our New York dailies to contribute to any other New York daily, even if he had the mental and physical power so to do, but the great world of reader do m has abont as much idea of the actual occupation of the average man of brains in journalism as it has of the supreme court of the Infinite, a million miles Deyona tne sun. ooiuc wen- known journalists write sermons ior izy or incompetent clergymen, speeches for illiterate or ill-informed congressmen and legislators of various names, pampniets for advertising purposes, advertisements fnr nartiea who desire properly to place before the public their wares, addresses of all sorts and kinds? circulars for the world's enlightment, for the benefit of this, that or the other specific. Others, in addition to their daily labor, write atfif-iAa for mno-aines. sketches for weekly nanera and correspondence for out-of- tnvn nanera. The daily work of journal ists. if it might be begun at a aecem uuu. in the morning and finished by dinner time at night, would be exasperating, taxing and mind-destroying enough, but a conscientious journalist never sleeps, his work is ever before him. Every incident that flashes across his vision during the day, that comes to his knowledge at night, is tucked away in his brain for reference or utilised as the peg of suggestion upon which to hang the garment of application. What is the inevitable tendency ? Clearly enough, to those of us who experience it, a tired head and aching eyes. Now and then it sends a weariness that creeps through every avenue of the body, dominating the physique so absolutely that life or death, sleep or activity, everything is immaterial. Then what? Work. Why not take a rest? Ha, ha, why not, that's good. The work must be done. If you are an orange, stand up and be squeezed. If you are squeezed out get out. You are of no further consequence. So long as you are an orange you must furnish juice. So long as you are a writer you must write. So long as you are a worker you must work. When your working capacity is ended, good-by. - Bow Are the Horses? In a few weeks heavy work will be upon the teams, and there should be some special preparation for it. More grain and less hay should be fed than for the winter season. Six quarts of oats in the morning, with four quarts at each of the later feedings, with eight pounds of rich, succulent hay, ought to answer as a daily allowance. Half a bushel of carrots per week for each animal, given a few at a time, will be found most helpful In im- E roving the coat, the stomach, and the reathing. These should be nicely washed to be most grateful to the animal. Leave nitre and all drugs out of the stable unless there is sickness, in which case t all in a competent doctor. - General Grant gave an hour to his memoirs toaay. lonignt ma eoiwiwu was reported unchanged.

Sir Peter Lnmsden advised the Afghans not to retire from before the Russian troops, but to dispute every inch of-ground, and said the British government would uphold them. Granville refused further information. Granville, pressed by the Marquis of Salisbury concerning the sit- nation in Central Asia, said tha latest r Sorts from Sir Peter Lumsden were that the ussian outposts now occupied Tulfikai pass, twenty miles south of Puli Khatum. A post of Turkomans was alse stationed at Sulikhioti, a few miles distant from Penjdeh. . Granville said presentations had been made-.-to Russia earnestly pressing her to give stringent orders to her military commander to refrain from any forward movement which would be likely to .bring about a collision between - the Russian and Afghan outposts. In reply to our remonstrances Russia declined on February 24, to withdraw her advanced posts at Sargaria and Tulfikai pass, : but gave the assurance that Bussian officers . had been ordered carefully to avoid conflicts with Afghans, and complications need only be. feared in the event only of attacks being made by the Afghans upon the Russian-posts. Sir Peter Lumsden exerted himself to prevent collisions, and has advised the Afghans to maintain themselves at the posts they now occupy. This advice has been approved by her majesty's government. Sir ' Peter Lumsden has been instructed to urge the Afghans at the same time to refrain from advancing beyond their present positions. Negotiations are now in progress between her majesty's government a- '..Russia for the settlement f the difficulties. The examination ot Burton and Cunningham was continued.

The Times says: Arthur filled the President's chair with prudence, public spirit and . dignity, and deserves credit for having pun- lsbed otnciai corruption witn exemplary severity. He can boast that he has handed over tbe government in a state of unclouded prosperity. Xlie nem says mere is every iiaeunooa that Cleveland will justify the confidence reposed in him. The wide-spread interest in the election seems to promise to rescae tha . government from the ascendency of profes- sional politicians, inis mission the nation has given to Cleveland, and it see nil probable he will fulfill it.

Special to the Ohio State Journal. Washington March 3. Thia baa been an extremely restless day in Washington. There has been a steady tramp, tramp, tramp of soldiery, constant roar of band music and an increasing jam of people. One has to walk in the middle of the streets to make any headway at all. The hotels and street cars are packed, yet there are those who say tonight that four years ago Washington held more Bonis than now. If the stream of in comers continues, howerer, before the snn rises again it will be absolutely painful to exist here. Trains are arriving on three roads about every half hour, and they are all heavily laden with human freight. Thousands are going over to Baltimore to spend the night, and it is feared by their friends here that there will be a railroad blockade in the morning, and they will experience much difficulty in returning. The weather bureau predicts lair weatner tomorrow, aad. prepare' I boos for a parade and fireworks and bail at hirht are being extended. The arrival of Cleveland and party at 7:30 this morning was not so much of a surprise . as it was intended. Quite a crowd was at the depot, and the President-elect had scarcely closed the doors behind him at the Arlington nntil cards were going np to his rooms. A constant string of prominent Democrats led to the hotel before 9 o'clock. The anticipations of the men were high as the went in, bat very low on departure. They all wanted to give advice on Cabinet matters and were refused admission. He soon gave oat that he had only two Cabinet positions to fill the War and Navy and that ha would consult gentlemen who were already selected as his counsellors about those. Samuel Courtright of Ohio was the first man received by Cleveland. A good deal of displeasure was shown by those whose cards were returned to them. Some uttered harsh words at being refused an audience upon such an important matter as the Cabinet. It is said Cleveland did not want to hear from New York in regard to his early determination to take two into his Cabinet from that state, and when at noon he began to receive almost every one whose card waa seat np, it was whispered that the Cabinet is complete and it is no use to talk now. There was very little formality in receiving callers. Some times the room was well filled with gentlemen, who stood np and talked in an of hand, social way. President Arthur and his Cabinet and those who were conceded to have been selected for the Cabinet, went np into the rooms of the President elect without announcement. There were many inquiries for ex Senator McDonald of Indiana, and a good deal of surprise was expressed by New Yorkers upon arriving at not finding him here. The absence of no one seems to attract so much attention, or elicit such deep regret, as that of McDonald. At the Capitol there has been of coarse the greatest crowds of people. It was impossible to move from one end of the building on the floors upon which the House and Senate are, without-extreme effort. The police were unable all day, and are tonight, to keep a passage-way open. Members of the conference committees at both ends of the Capitol are compelled to traverse the basement floor. Katkla- Bat Wind la the Senate. The contested election case of Fredericks v. Wilson is the supposed business before the House. For the last twenty-four hoars it has been difficult to tell what the lower branch of Congress is trying to do. Motions to adjourn, to excuse members from acting, and to take a recess follow one another in rapid succession. Each meets with a demand for the yeas and nays. The Forty-eighth Congress has obtained for itself a reputation for doing nothing which is not to be surrendered during the last hours of the session. Today the results can be summed np in ten lines. The House agreed to one of tne benate amendments to the post-J uiua nppropnauou out ana rejeciea two others. Beyond that the two branches are no nearer an agreement than they were last night. By a Tola of 128-lor to 32 against the House refused to agree to the Senate amendment to the ocean steamship subsidy clause of the postoffice bill. Townshend, who has the matter in charge, declares he would favor an extra session rather than yield, and it is feared that this one item may lead to a serious split. In fact as soon as the vote on the subsidy proposition was announced the opinion spread through the House that it would be absolutely impossible to adjourn tomorrow with the appropriation bills out of the way. Still within the next twelve hours members of one house or the other may come to their senses and make concessions. ' - Col Dakoi ta the Proeeeeioa Today. Official program promulgated by the inaugural committee today, showing the order of the line of march of military and civic organizations tomorrow, contains the following of interest to Ohio: The Fourteenth regiment Ohio National Guard, which became famous daring the Cincinnati jury riot, will parade with 200 men in line, dressed in regulation United States uniform. Colonel George D. Freeman will command the regiment, his staff being composed of Lieutenant Colonel William M. Leggett, Major Andrew Schwarz and Adjutant Thomas Fletcher. The regimental band will head the line. The regiment, which waa organized in 1877. has nine companies and a full strength of GOO men. It has been called for service four times and made a prompt response each time. The Jackson club of Columbus, O., fifty j men in uniform, officers, Charles G. Saffin Jresident; Samuel A. Kinnear, secretary; obn Owens, first vice president; James Boss, assistant secretary: Robert Snapp, second vice president ;Captain Charles W. McMil-len, treasurer; Captain Ephraim Weiriek, Lieutenants A. B. Cohen and A. B. Foster. The uniform is a white hat, light gray overcoat, white satin badge eight inches long, ornamented with a portrait of Jackson and bearing the name of the club. The members wilL carry canes alike. The Sand oaky Light Guard-, company B, Sixteenth regiment Ohio National Guard, forty men; C. M. Keyes captain, C. E. Barton first lieutenant, and E. B. King second lieutenant. The uniform is similar to that of the Seventh New York, United States cadet gray, white trimming, white cross belts and white epaulettes. The company was organized May 3, 1875. It has been twice called out by the Governor to suppress riots in the coal regions and Cincinnati. It is composed of business and professional young men of Sandusky. The . Ball.Room Keeelviag the Final Tonah.es. An estimate of the ball tickets already sold places the number at ten thousand. The inaugural ball tomorrow night promises to be the most successful, financially and socially, that has ever taken place. The decorations are somewhat gaudy but are of rich material and handsome design. Tonight the ball-room is receiving the final touches. The committee decided not to use electricity in lighting np, but have put in instead about sixty Siemen's gas burners. The result is a steady and perfect light, without the glare which makes electricity so objectionable indoors. The effects tonight are such as to promise an exceedingly brilliant scene tomorrow, and all Washington is on the tiptoe of expectancy. Outwitting the Doorkeepers. A great many schemes are worked daring the excitement of the closing days of Congress to get in on the floor of the House or into the lobby of it by those having an especial interest in the proceedings. Ministers to and from foreign countries. Governor! of states and territories, ex-members and members-elect are admitted, beside those who are directly connected with conducting the Mouse at tne present time. A few dava aeo E. E. Chanin. a wall-known lawyer of Milwaukee, presented himself at Ana af the entrances leading to the House and asked for admission. Having no right to the floor, he was admitted not. When about turning away, disheartened, for he very much desired to be admitted to the lobby on the south side of the Hnnaa. espied Hugh Lewis, one ot the door-keepers, who hails from Wisconsin. In lowered tones he told Lewis he wanted to go in on the floor ot the House rt kail. .. - a.

There was another doorkeeper than Twia nreaent. "You can not enter here!" expostulated the doorkeeper. "Bat I was on the floor a few minutes ago," argued Chapin, "and I want to go there again." A little controversy was taking place when Lewis reappeared. Seeing his Western friend Lewis, with a serious look, said: 'All right, come in." Turning to the other doorkeeper, Lewis aid, "He'i a foreign minister." It required an excuse of some kind to make clear the other visit Chapin had made to the floor of the House. Now Lewis is greeted as "for eign minister," the identity of Chapin, wno is a private citizen. Having Been tablisbed. It is said that many men creep in on the floor of the House by representing them-lves to belong to the class who by the rules have ilie privileges of the door. At any rate Uiere hss been a large number of .strangers on the floor during the past few dsys. The Coloaabas FnbUe BUI, for Instance. It is during hours like those which have been passing within the last forty-eight hours that the average congressman and senator earns and receives the curses of his constituents. Nearly every representative has a measure in some of the appropriation bills which is local to his district. Many have a number of them. The work on these measures is being done regardless of personal favor. One House will strike out some of these clauses, or a conference committee will do so, and the other branch will concur, and the work final will be completed under a suspension of the rules, so that debate and amendments are out of order, and repairs cannot be made. The sundry civil bill has been terribly disfigured by the Senate. Scores of sections and clauses have been amended in the Senate and sent back to the House for concurrence under a suspension of rules. The House has done the same thing with Senate amendments and the conference committees have also taken unlimited liberty with the appropriation bills. All this has played havoc with the personal interests of senators and representatives. Daring such times ample opportunity is afforded for embittered senators and members to "get even" with those who have invited their ill wilL The revision of appropriation bills is conducted so that it is impossible almost to. ascertain why a thing is done. If a member or senator has a friend or a conference committee he Can even np with an enemy, having an interest in a clause and it can hot be learned how or why.it was done. Cleveland', rtataelai Foiley to be Vigorous.It is generally beHeved that the administration of Mr. Cleveland will be a vigorous one on the subject of finance, and that some unusual steps, intended to alleviate the stress of money matters will be taken. The moves already made on the subject of silver coinage indicate his decisive character, and the men he will have around him and in his Cabinet point to a vigorous policy. Many there are prominent in the party here who expect to see almost a revolution in commercial matters. This is anticipated to all be for the better, of course. It is thought Mr. Cleveland will recommend the passage of a bankrupt bill next winter, and state what he wants on the subject of finance in bis regular message to Congress. Feraoaal.

The Chief Signal Officer Ordered Under Ar rest aad to bo Court-Sfartlaled. Washington, March 3. The President today ordered a general court-martial to convene in Washington on the 11th inst., for the trial of Brigadier General W. B. Hazen, chief signal officer of the army, on the charges of conduct prejudicial to good order and military discipline, in hay ing officially and publicly criticised the action of the secretary of war for not following his recommendation to send an expedition to the relief of Lieutenant Greely in September, 1883. Captain J. W. Clous of the Twenty-fourth infantry, will be iudee ad vocate. Orders were also issued today for the suspension of General Hazen, and for mm to consider mmseii in arrest until farther orders. Captain Mills, of the signal service, has been ordered on duty as acting chief signal officer, pending the result of the trial of General Hazen. It is understood the action of the Presi dent in this case was precipitated by an interview with General Hazen published yesterday, in which General Hazen is represented as placing on the secretary of war the responsibility for the- loss of so many members ot the ttreely party. They Didn't Find It. Dayton, March 3. Three masked men entered William Harris's residence, two miles from Dayton, last night, and injured the -old man.

CAME IN WITH THE MIST, TO SCENES OF HIS FUTURE TROUBLE. Arrival of Cleveland and Party at Waab ington Their Reception at the Arlington Getting Beady for Today's Affair. Washington, March 3. At 7 o'clock this morning, when the mists of the night still clung around the Baltimore and Potomac depot and but few persons were about, the special train bearing the Presl dent-elect and his party drew up on the side-track in the depot. The committee of citizens appointed by Chairman Cor coran to receive the President-elect had been informed bv him that he desired to await a public reception and would prefer to receive a visit irom the committee at his hotel. They were also informed yesterday evening by members of the Senate designated by Cleveland as a medium of further communication, that other and erivate arrangements had been made for is comfortable reception at the station and conveyance to the hotel, but nevertheless when the party arrived only a few train bands and half a dosen reporters were present. The Prefiident-elect was accompanied by his brother, Rev. L. Cleveland, wife and child, his sisters, Mrs. Hoyt and Miss Cleveland, his niece, Miss Mary Hastings, Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Manning and Colonel Daniel Lamont, wife and children. After a delay of about ten minutes Chairman Berret and Mr. Gait, of the inaugural committee, put in an appearance and were introduced to the President-elect. Some twenty minutes were required to secure carriages and it was 7:50 o'clock before the party disembarked. Meanwhile news" of the arrival of the party had spread and a crowd gathered around the Pullman car Maranon and stared hard at the President-elect, who bore the scrutiny with equanimity. When the carriages arrived tne party alighted and proceeded through the ladies' waiting-room to the north entrance, thePresident-elect leading with Chairman Berret. He wore a blue overcoat and silk hat and did not appear to be at all fatigued by his night's journey. Carriages were taken and the party proceeded to the Arlington, where a hasty toilet was made and breakfast served. The sub-committee appointed by the inauguration general reception committee to welcome the President-elect to Washington called on him by appointment, this afternoon. Their chairman, Hon. Richard T. Merrick, after introducing bis fellow-members, expressed their welcome in a few well-chosen words, and Governor Cleveland felicitously returned his acknowledgments. An informal conversation ensued for some little time, and the committee then individually took their leave. After the call of the citizens' reception committee Mr. Cleveland continued to receive callers until 6 o'clock, when he dined at the hotel. Among those who called were Mr. Hendricks, Geneial Vilas and Secretary McCulloch. It was after 8 o'clock when Mr. Cleveland and Colonel Lamont appeared in the parlors after dinner, and from that hour until 10 o'clock the President-elect continued to receive callers, who were admitted only after sending their cards. At .10 o'clock Mr. Cleveland retired. He will leave the hotel tomorrow morn ing at 11 o'clock for the White House, and from thence will be driven to the Capitol. Mr. Hendricks received a laree number of callers at his rooms today. In the evening he was serenaded by several visiting organizations, and in acknowl edging one of these compliments ten dered him by the Busch Zouaves of St. Louis, and Flambeaux club of Kansas, he said he regarded the demonstrations today as "indorsements of the principles of pure and honest government' XliVIIfth Congress Second Session. Washington, March 3, 18S5. SKKATK. Mr. Dawes called up the conference report on the Indian appropriation bill. The two nouses, ne saw, naa agreed on tne Din so tar as all the items properly pertaining to the appropriation bill were concerned. The Senate bad struck out all items of general legislation and all items for depredation claims. Upon these; however, the House had insisted on since the bill passed. Mr. Dawes added the Senate seemed to have weakened on its position as to general legislation. Some provisions of the Indian appropriation bill were open violations of our treaty obligations, as well as unconstitutional.Mr. Sherman said if the Senate regarded the House resolution as wise a Senate rule should not interfere with it; if unwise and unsound the 8enate should not recede, no matter what the consequences. Mr. Plumb said we were confronted with the possibility today of nothing more than an extra session of Congress, growing out of the action of the House. The course of that body had shown the magnificent will power of one man to produce such a result, pregnant, as Mr. Plumb believed it to be, with the gravest consequences to the people of the United States. The exceedingly defective form of legislation found on appropriation bills tended to make him (Plumb) immovably opposed to yielding, so far, at least, as related to important legislation. No more gross confession of legislative incompetency had evr been seen than had been manifested within stone s throw of the Senate chamber within thirty days. Bills appropriating millions of dollars had been passed without consideration and then sent to the Senate within two days of the close of the session. Mr. Plumb characterized the river and harbor lump appropriation as a criminal waste of money. Mr. ingalis By a Democratic secretary ot war. Mr. Plumb would net give the debate a political turn but the question was becoming serious not only as to the present but future. Mr. Beck thought there should be a rule requiring appropriation bills to be prepared early enough to anora tun consideration in both houses. ; In order to bring the question to the point and get he understanding of the Senate. Mr. Dawes moved, though he said he would vote against his own motion, that the Senate recede as to the provision of the bill relating to the legal jurisdiction and procedure in case of crimes committed by Indians. The Senate refused to recede yeas 4, nays 47. A message- from the House announced a disagreement with the Senate on the sundry civil bill. The Senate insisted on the amendments and the Chair appointed as a conference committee Messrs. Allison, Hale and Beck. Mr. Dawes explained the differences on the Indian bill to be the provision prohibiting carrying whisky into the Indian territory, that of disarming Indians and that relating to the Oklahoma territory. These, Mr. Dawes added, were good provisions, but were at present in such form in the bill as to do more harm than good. Mr. Sherman explained that the committee on arrangements, appointed by the Senate to take charge of the inaugural ceremonies, had not discriminated against the House in any way, but in the present instance the precedents had been somewhat departed from in favor of the House. The matter of the Indian conference report was taken up, and Mr. Dawes moved the Senate insist on the remaining amendments.Mr. Manderson moved the Senate recede as to the amendment extending the time for the payment for Indian lands. Mr. Van Wycke satirically said the Senate could not agree to legislative provisions on an appropriation bill when put on by the House, but could itself put on such as the Pacific mail subsidy clause when it thought fit, John Roach, Jay Gould and C. P. Huntington had been defeated at the other end of the Capitol, but had demanded that the Senate should violate its own rules. Mr. Van Wycke supported Mr. Manderson's motion. but the Senate, by a vote of 13 to 33, refused to recede. Mr. Vest hoped the Senate would agree with the House provision regarding the Oklahoma matter, and moved the Senate re cede from its amendment. Mr. Ingalis did not believe the Senate ap preciated tne tun significance ot the Oklahoma difficulty. He had no doubt that with in torty-eight hours 20,000 persons, by concerted action, would move on these Okla homa lands to forcibly occupy them, and be prepared to maintain that occupancy by force of arms. He did not believe a graver complication could arise in the dawn of the coming administration, whose crepuscular light we already saw in the eastern sky, than the complication likely to arise in this matter.Mr. Cullom said he had received reliable information that 2000 men were ready and determined to go on tne lands on March 5, Mr. Dawes inquired why on March 5. Mr. Cullom could not say. Mr. Ingalis did not know whether this was a post hoc or a propter hoc, whether a cause, effect or coincidence. Mr. Butler asked whether thecommander-in-chief of the United States army bad not sent an armed force to put out and keep out the people alluded to. Mr. Ingalis said yes, but tbe star of tha eminent commander was about to set Within a very short time the command of that very majestic body of men known as the Army of the United States would have passed from, the control of the great general who now commanded to a still greater general whose course was still in the womb of the future, but undoubtedly there was an impression that after March 5 the troops would be withdrawn. Mr. Ingalis said there were no lands of the Oklahoma tract that were in any sense public lands. It had been said contracts existed for grazing cattle on the lands and the Senate was standing in the way of opening the lands. Mr. Ingalis denied that a single contract of the character named existed or that a single head of cattle was fad on the Oklahoma lands. We should make the ' declaration broad, clear and distinct that no man should be permitted to go on these lands in contravention of law. It may however, be that before the sun rose again misguided citizens of the United Slates might be in conflict with troops. He(IngallB) would regret the shedding of blood, but there was but one way, in his opinion, to avoid it, and that was for the Senate not to invite the people to go there by a promise that a negotiation was about to be entered on for tbe purpose of opening these lands to settlement. Mr. Dawes felt entire confidence that the incoming administration would be found on the side of law. Mr. Vest remarked that the 'boomers" regarded tbe Oklahoma lands as comprising about 14,000,000 acres of iandV instead of comparatively a few acres, comprising what was more correctly understood td be the Oklahoma lands. Within the 14,000,000 acres referred to, there were many cattle grazing. Mr. Vest denied as a Democratic senator that there was any possible right of assumption or intimation that the administration of President Cleveland would be in any sort of sympathy, directly or indirectly, with a violation of law. The statements made to that effect were inspired by the desperation of the ''boomers," and not by any person in authority in the Democratic party. The Senate insisted on its amendment, and the Chair appointed Messrs. Dawes, Plumb and Ransom a committee of conference on the bill. Mr. Allison submitted a conference report on the general pension bill. No action was taken on it for the present. Mr. Hale, from the committee on appropriations, submitted the deficiency appropriation bill. He said it comprised ninety-odd pages and ought to be considered as soon as possible in order to go back to the House. There were now but twenty-three hours of the session of the Forty-eighth Congress remaining, and he asked unanimous consent to have this bill at once taken up. Mr. Conger called attention to the river and harbor bill, which, he said, he had yesterday notified the Senate he would call up today. Mr. Hale understood that Mr. Conger would antagonize the deficiency bill with a "conjectural" river and harbor bill. He (Hale) bad had grave doubt of the possibility of Congress getting through its necessary business without an extra session, and this added amazingly to the doubt. The appropriation committee had done its very best to get the bills before the Senate, and the Senate must now take the responsibility of the aibuauuu lruui mis unie uaui noon tomor row. . Mr. Cockrell desired the senators to bear in mind tbe exact responsibility for their action. This bill and the fortification bill were all the appropriation bills now left. The Senate adjourned and the legislative day of the 3d immediately began. The credentials ot Iceland btanford and J. 6. Kostua, senators-elect, were laid before the Senate. Mr. Hawley submitted a verbal report of the work done by the special committee to investigate tbe steel-producing capacity of the United States, stating that the committee had visited several cities and examined many factories and furnaces, and had in type the results of its investigations, but such investigations had not been completed for want of time. Mr. Morgan moved the committee be con tinued during the recess and required to report next December. Agreed to. Mr. Hale called up the general deficiency appropriation bill and its reading was pro ceeded with. The House provision abolishing the office of tenth census was stricken out by the Sen ate. Mr. Miller (N. Y.) offered an amendment appropriating $100,000 to complete the pedes tal ot tne statue "liberty uaiigntening tbe World," to be erected on Bedloes island. New York harbor." Agreed to. ' An amendment was adopted increasing appropriations for the compensation of postmasters, whose salaries had been readjusted under the act of 1833 to $278,481, an increase of $137,983. The bill passed. The fortification bill was then taken up. The committee's amendments were adopted and the bill passed. The Senate went into executive session, and when tbe doors reopened took a recess until 9 o'clock. HOUSE. There were hardly a dozen members in the hall when the session resumed this morning. The sundry civil bill had in the meantime come over from the Senate heavily loaded with amendments. Mr. Randall asked unanimous consent that this bill be taken up and the Senate amendments non-concurred in and sent to a conference committee, but an objection came from Mr. Hepburn and then there was a call of the House, which showed the presence of only 45 members. Mr. Randall's motion was then renewed and agreed to, and Messrs. Randal, Forney and Ryan appointed con-ferrees on the part of the House. After various ineffectual attempts to have bills taken np by unanimous consent, and it being plainly impossible to have any public business transacted, the House adjourned until 11 o'clock. When the House reconvened Mr. Valentine immediately moved a recess until 10 o'clock tonight, his object being to prevent consideration of the contested election case of Frederick v. Wilson of Iowa. The Republicans refrained from voting on the mo tion and left the House without a quorum. . JNo attempt was made to transact any business until Mr. Townshend submitted a report of the conference committee on the postoffice appropriation bill, announcing continued disagreement. Mr. Townshend stated there were several points of difference between the two houses, the most important of which was on the Senate amendment relating to ocean mail service. He was opposed to this because he regarded it in the light of a subsidy proposition and because it intrusted a dangerous power to the postmaster general. Pending the debate the Speaker laid before the House a communication from G. H. Craig, representative from the Fourth Ala bama district, stating that he had forwarded to tbe Uovernor of that state his resignation, to take effect March 3. Laid on the table. After a long debate on the ocean mail transportation clause, the House concurred in the Senate amendment, authorizing the postmaster general to lease premises for third class postoffices. - Mr. Horr moved the House concur in tbe Senate amendment relative to ocean mail transportation. Lost yeas 12S, nays 132. The House then insisted on its disagreement to the amendment, and a further conference was ordered. Mr. Ellis submitteed a conference report on the Indian appropriation bill. The report states an agreement has been reached on all points in controversy, except upon the Senate amendments striking out the clauses paying claims against Indian tribes on account of depredations and enacting legisla tion reiauve to tuts miruuuuuuu ui iuwai-cating spirits into the Indian territory. Un motion ot Mr. noiraan, tne amend ment striking out the clause relative to claims against Indian tribes, was concurred in 111 to 54. The other amendment was disagreed to, and a further conference was ordered. Mr. Hancock submitted a conference re port on the pension appropriation bill. Adopted. The House recedes from its disagreement to all the Senate amendments, and as finally agreed ta the bill appropriates $60,000,000. Recess until 7:30. London Stock Sales. Special to the Ohio State Journal. London, Match 3. Our regular monthly stock sales are held on the first Tuesday in every month. The sale today was largely attended, but sales of stock were not active and the number of sales less than those made at the February sale, and the prices today were below tbose a month ago, especially was this true with the sale of horses. About 250 head of cattle were sold at priees as follows: Yearlings $35 per hundred weight; two-year olds f3.50(n)5.12J per hundred weight ; three-year olds $1(?5.40 per hundred weight. Horses were slow sale, although a large number were on the market ; but sellers were not willing to accept the prices offered and but few sales were made and at greatly reduced prices, ranging from $100 to $130 per head. Murderoua Work of Anarchists. Pittsburg, March 3. The Anarchists held a meeting in Allegheny City last night, which broke up in a riot, and the police were called in to suppress the disorder. This morning John and Thomas Benker, drivers for the Lion Brewing Company in Allegheny, pronounced Anarchists, made a murderous attack upon two other drivers, John Werthman and George Weifler, whom they accused of causing the trouble at the meeting. The Benker brothers used heavy oak barrel staves.and beat their victims so f erociously that it is doubtful if they can recover. The assailants were arrested and held awaiting the results of the injuries of the wounaea men, ASlTHE LOCUSTS OF EGYPT ATEUPTHESUflsf ANCE OrTfiE LAND; So tha I'Dvaihad Democracy Swarm Iato tha Capital; Thinking They Own the Place The City Crowded to Its Utmost Capacity. Washikgtox, March 3. The corridors of the Capitol are almost impassable. Dense crowds surround every door of the galleries of the two houses peering through and awaiting the departure of the more fortunate occupants of the seats within. They are composed, for the most part, of well-behaved, well-dressed people, and by far the larger half wear overcoats of the army blue, their red-lined capes thrown back, better to disply the buttons and military trappings beneath. Many civilians are bedecked with silver badges bearing gilt devices. The old citizen who remembered the inauguration of Pierce and Buchanan, and who loves to tell any chance passenger of the glories of the ancient Democracy, elboata the younger and more sportive patriot who in default of cheering memories cherishes with equal ardor and chats as freely about his germinating hopes of the hereafter, dating from tomorrow noon.: . The majority of the latter have come to pay their first visit to the halls of Congress .and betray in face and demeanor a sense of proprietorship in the building and its contents. They bear their disappointment, however, with patience not unmixed with painful surprise, as sturdy, methodical policemen turn them back, and ask their equally uninformed neighbors if any way is open to the free but untitled American citizen to get where he can see the processes of law making. The proceedings to which such as get admission are witnesses, are not so well calculated to excite feelings of reverence as those of the earlier days of the session. The Senators and members of the House are worn out with the protracted sessions and excitement the last two or three days and nights and betray the fact in their uneasy attitude and sometimes in the unparliamentary vigor of their expressions. An extra session remains a possibility and the subject is the one most discussed among the members and attaches of Congress. The condition of business is such that the appropriation bills might be disposed of within twelve hours, yet the possibility remains that some will not be passed. Great crowds of .spectators have a very imposing effect; upon the eloquence of many members. The White-house building and grounds were crowded with visitors today. The east room, however, was the only one open to sight-seers. A policeman guarded the stairway leading to the upper portions of the house, and allowed only those on official business to pass. The President was kept very busy during the day signing the acts of Congress and attending to other official matters. Members of the United States Supreme court, headed by Chief Justice Waite, called just before noon and took leave of the President. , The meeting of the Cabinet was held at noon and lasted two hours. All tbe members were present. The session was devoted to clearing up all official business requiring action during the present administration. During the session a messenger brought a large floral cornucopia, across which was laid a beautiful horse-shoe formed of rare exotics. J At 2 :30 o'clock the President received the members- of the diplomatic corps. All the legations were represented, and it seemed as if every diplomat in the city improved the opportunity to take official leave of the President. While arrangements were being made for packing and removing the-pVrsonal effects of the President and family, a large express wagon drove up to the main entrance and deposited a number of trunks, boxes and parcels containing the personal effects of President-elect Cleveland and his private secretary. The President's effects will be removed tomorrow. After the President has reviewed the inaugural procession he will proceed direct to the residence of Secretary Frelinghuysen, and whose guest he will be for two or three weeks. His son and daughter will accompany him. Mrs. McElroy will be the guest of Mrs. John Field, and Mrs. Hay nes worth tbe guest of Mrs. James A. Dumont. Presidentelect Cleveland called,on President Arthur this afternoon. Benjamin Butterworth, commissioner of patents, today banded in his resignation to Secretary Teller, who accepted it, and complimented him upon his energetic administration .of the office. At the close of business hours today, the principal officers of the Postoffice department assembled in the postmaster general's room to take leave of Mr. Hat-ton. The retiring head of the department thanked them for their faithful discharge of duty and received from them in return expressions of their good will. In accordance with the usual custom, members of the Cabinet placed their resignation in the hands of President Arthur. The Work of a Crank. Baltimore, March 3.

Iowa'a State Auditor Suspended from Of- nee for Alleged Crooked Work. Des MotsEs, March 3. Governor Sherman this afternoon served notice on Auditor Brown suspending him from office and appointing J. W: Cottell auditor pro tern. The notice states the suspension is made because of Brown's failure and refusal to account for certain moneys and property of the state intrusted to him as auditor. Cottell, who had filed his bond, was accompanied by an officer serving the notice ready to take possession of the office, but Brown refused to surrender the office or books and papers. It is understood the Governor had the office of the auditor examined by a commission ; that tbe commission reported a state of facts which made it mandatory on the Governor to suspend the auditor. The matters of alleged delinquency on the auditor's part, on which the Governor has acted, has nothing to do with complaints made against Brown in connection with the examination of insurance companies. The commission did not inquire into that matter, but only detailed the management of his office and accounts. Brown says the complaints against his office are unfounded, that the government has not the power to suspend him and that he will resist in the courts. THE TEXAS METHOD Of Adjusting a Strike Trains Stopped an the Texas Pacific Road. Galveston, March 3. -The striking employes of the Texas Pacific shop at Marshall carried out the resolution adopted at a meeting by stopping all passing freight trains today. Eleven trains are now standing in the yard, several of tbe cars loaded with perishable goods. The strikers this afternoon notified officers of the road that within twenty-four hours all passenger trains would be stopped, but an engine with the mail car would be carried through. If the company refuses to send a conductor the strikers will detail one of their number to take the mails to the Pacific coast. Good order prevails. No attempts have been made to destroy property. The city authorities are watching every movement of the strikers, but as yet have found no cause to interfere. A committee from the Marshall shops today visited Long view, the junction of the Texas Pacific and International Great Northern road, to induce the round-house employes to join the strike. The Longview strikers agreed to allow no coaches except mail to be taken out alter miamgnt tonigni. This plan, if carried out, will seriously interfere with the traveling public.

It is believed, though, without seeming authority, that the proposition has no less a personage behind it than General Stone, who, when Earl Duf-ferin undertook a reorganization of Egypt, was ignored by Hicks Pasha. In' this connection it is worthy of note that a gentleman here who traveled in Egypt says General Stone's letter in the New York World cautioning the British against sending their army from Suakim to Berber was misleading and in the interest of disaster to the British.

Of the measures of general interest introduced during the lifetime of this Congress which will fail of final action, a large number passed one house, but did not pass the other, and many hundreds have never got further than the calendars of the house in which they originated and will die there, while a great many have never even been reported from the committees to which they were referred.

Ah, colleague Merlin, I envy you those trees and their fresh waving boughs, for no green leaf rustles here in my mattress grave a grave without rest, death without the privileges of the dead, who have no need to write either letters or books. I have been measured for my coffin some time ago, and my obifuary written, but I die so slowly that this becomes a tedious affair for myself, as well as for friends. Patience, however ; there is an end to everything. One morning you will find the book closed where the puppet-show of my humor so often amused you." One night, indeed it was so, but not until he had endured his "mattress grave" for eight long weary years. One night he moved into that last and best bed, where "the weary are at rest." It has been contended that when the disease of which the sufferer is dying is consumption, or some disease which, between paroxysms of pain, leaves spaces of ease and rest, it is nothing wonderful that good work should be done. Some of the best of Paley's works were written under such conditions, and some of the best of Shelley's. Crabb Robinson said that Goethe never had an afllction which he did not turn into a poem. Mr. Phillip Gilbert Hammerton has noted a very peculiar effect which the act of composition had upon Wordsworth. When engaged in composing "The White Doo of Byistone," he received a wound in his foot, and observed that the continuation of his literary labors increased the irritation of the wound, whereas by suspending his work he could diminish it. Absolute rest produced perfect cure. In connection with this incident he remarked that poetic excitement, accomplished by protracted labor in composition, always brought on more or less bodily derangement. He preserved himself from permanently injurious consequences by excellent habits of life. It is curious that times of illness, when the eyes swim and the head shakes, are oftentimes rich in suggestion. If the mind is often poetic, the hours are by no means wasted. Such was the condition of Mr. Green, the historian, who literally died in harness. Few pages in literary history are so touching as the preface in which Mrs. Green tells the history f "The Conquest of England." When he had finished the fourth volume ot his "History of the English People" there was a pause in the advance of tbe lung disease which stllicted him. Eager for fresh work, he began to shape new plans, but early in the spring of 181 he fell ill again. "In the extremity of ruin and defeat he fonnd a higher fidelity and a perfect strength." Most men give up their work when their end comes near, but Mr. Jreen la said to-have- worked all the harder because his days were numbered, and strove to obtain and diffuse as much light as possible before the coming of the night. "Under the shadow of death 'The Conquest of England' was begun," and the night came before it was finished. The death of Mark Pattison was equally sad, for in one of his last letters he wrote : "It is hard to feel my physical powers ebbing away, while m intellectual powers were never more vigorous. I have gathered with infinite pains tbe materials for my great work, but they will all be wasted for I shall not live to finish it and no one else will find the clue." Blindness would seem an insuperable drawback to writing, yet Frescott, the historian of Mexico and Peru, overcame the difficulty into which he was plunged by the failure of his sight. While a student at Harvard college one of his fellow students threw a crust of bread at him which struck one of his eyes, and deprived it almost wholly of sight, while the other was sympathetically affected. When writing a history of Spain his eye gave away, and prevented him from reading. His literary enthusiasm, however, was too strong to be quenched even by this calamity; he engaged a reader, dictated copious notes, and from these notes constructed his history, making in his mind the necessary corrections. Newspaper Wark. Joe Howard, in an article on the never-ending labor incumbent upon writers for the daily press, has the following, as true as Holy Writ: But where do we newspaper men come in? Where is our rest? Where our recreation? It is the custom in this city to give a yearly vacation of from one to three weeks to the writers on daily journals. That's all very well if a man contents himself with that one piece of "grad-grindery," but there are very few men in journalism so well paid by any one employer that they can afford to confine themselves to that service alone. It would be dishonorable for any writer on any of our New York dailies to contribute to any other New York daily, even if he had the mental and physical power so to do, but the great world of reader do m has abont as much idea of the actual occupation of the average man of brains in journalism as it has of the supreme court of the Infinite, a million miles Deyona tne sun. ooiuc wen- known journalists write sermons ior izy or incompetent clergymen, speeches for illiterate or ill-informed congressmen and legislators of various names, pampniets for advertising purposes, advertisements fnr nartiea who desire properly to place before the public their wares, addresses of all sorts and kinds? circulars for the world's enlightment, for the benefit of this, that or the other specific. Others, in addition to their daily labor, write atfif-iAa for mno-aines. sketches for weekly nanera and correspondence for out-of- tnvn nanera. The daily work of journal ists. if it might be begun at a aecem uuu. in the morning and finished by dinner time at night, would be exasperating, taxing and mind-destroying enough, but a conscientious journalist never sleeps, his work is ever before him. Every incident that flashes across his vision during the day, that comes to his knowledge at night, is tucked away in his brain for reference or utilised as the peg of suggestion upon which to hang the garment of application. What is the inevitable tendency ? Clearly enough, to those of us who experience it, a tired head and aching eyes. Now and then it sends a weariness that creeps through every avenue of the body, dominating the physique so absolutely that life or death, sleep or activity, everything is immaterial. Then what? Work. Why not take a rest? Ha, ha, why not, that's good. The work must be done. If you are an orange, stand up and be squeezed. If you are squeezed out get out. You are of no further consequence. So long as you are an orange you must furnish juice. So long as you are a writer you must write. So long as you are a worker you must work. When your working capacity is ended, good-by. - Bow Are the Horses? In a few weeks heavy work will be upon the teams, and there should be some special preparation for it. More grain and less hay should be fed than for the winter season. Six quarts of oats in the morning, with four quarts at each of the later feedings, with eight pounds of rich, succulent hay, ought to answer as a daily allowance. Half a bushel of carrots per week for each animal, given a few at a time, will be found most helpful In im- E roving the coat, the stomach, and the reathing. These should be nicely washed to be most grateful to the animal. Leave nitre and all drugs out of the stable unless there is sickness, in which case t all in a competent doctor. - General Grant gave an hour to his memoirs toaay. lonignt ma eoiwiwu was reported unchanged.

In the House of Lords this afternoon, in answer to questions respecting the position of the government on the Russia-Afghan frontier question, Earl Granville admitted that Russian troop's had been advancing in the disputed teriitory of Afghanistan, and when requested by Englaud to withdraw from their advanced posts they refused to retire.

Granville said presentations had been made-.-to Russia earnestly pressing her to give stringent orders to her military commander to refrain from any forward movement which would be likely to .bring about a collision between - the Russian and Afghan outposts. In reply to our remonstrances Russia declined on February 24, to withdraw her advanced posts at Sargaria and Tulfikai pass, : but gave the assurance that Bussian officers . had been ordered carefully to avoid conflicts with Afghans, and complications need only be. feared in the event only of attacks being made by the Afghans upon the Russian-posts. Sir Peter Lumsden exerted himself to prevent collisions, and has advised the Afghans to maintain themselves at the posts they now occupy. This advice has been approved by her majesty's government. Sir ' Peter Lumsden has been instructed to urge the Afghans at the same time to refrain from advancing beyond their present positions. Negotiations are now in progress between her majesty's government a- '..Russia for the settlement f the difficulties. The examination ot Burton and Cunningham was continued.

In the city of Memphis there are about twice as many white people as colored people, yet the weekly record of mortality almost invariably shows more deaths of colored than of white persons, 'lhe Memphis Appeal says the cause of this exces sive mortality can do . iraceu cmtur quackery. "The negroes are naturally superstitious, and believe there is more virtue in conjuration than medicine, and they cling to their superstitions and seem to learn nothing bv the fearful mortality among the race. The negro quacks reap a rich harvest on this credulity. They have a specific for every ailment, and, knowing uothin about the disease, their remedy aggravates instead of curing."
